A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO PROTECT MARRIAGE

Canadian lawmakers have traditionally "enshrined" in the Constitution the things that have a special place, or need protection in our laws.

Traditional marriage is one such institution that should be "enshrined" in our Constitution to permanently protect it from encroachment. This is because marriage is an institution absolutely vital to our future as a nation and to all our citizens.

Because of the threats to marriage today, an organization to enshrine it in the highest law of the land has recently been formed. It is called Enshrine Marriage Canada (www.enshrinemarriage.ca). It is headed by William Gairdner author of the bestseller "The War Against the Family". Members of the steering committee include, Susan Martinuk, a Vancouver based Christian freelance columnist and media commentator for public policy issues and current affairs; Douglas Farrow, Associate Professor of Christian Thought at McGill University; David Novak, Professor of the Study of Religion and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto, and Richard Bastien, a consultant both nationally and internationally on economic matters who helped establish the new Quebec quarterly journal of cultural criticism entitled Egards.

Enshrine Marriage Canada has prepared the magnificent Declaration of Marriage which we have reproduced on p. 17, which you may wish to copy and distribute it to friends, family, your church members etc.
